Abstract

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'affichage pourvu d'un panneau d'affichage d'image doté d'une surface d'affichage d'image sur laquelle l'affichage est commandé sur la base d'un signal d'image d'entrée ; d'une unité source de lumière (un dispositif source de lumière) dotée de multiples sources de lumière disposées de façon à correspondre à la surface d'affichage d'image, qui est divisée en de multiples sous-régions, et qui éclaire la surface d'affichage d'image ; et d'une unité de traitement de signal qui calcule la quantité d'éclairage des sources de lumière pour chacune des multiples sous-régions. L'unité de traitement de signal calcule une quantité d'éclairage pour chaque sous-région sur la base du signal d'image d'entrée, définit l'une des sous-régions en tant que sous-région cible de correction de quantité d'éclairage, et corrige la quantité d'éclairage dans la sous-région cible de correction si la quantité d'éclairage d'une sous-région adjacente positionnée autour de ladite sous-région cible de correction est inférieure ou égale à une valeur prescrite.
